Mongolia Team Heads to the White River Park Entrance

Ang Jangbu called in a report just after the team departed base camp heading downhill to the White River Park Entrance. When the weather holds, teams need to find something to do during the contingency day. Jangbu and the team took advantage of the contingency day by trekking to the Russian border and then climbing Mount Malchin. The team then returned to base camp where the cook staff prepared an incredible dinner and celebration cake. We have a great cook staff in Mongolia.

Up early, the team said goodbye to the Mongolian guide team and began the trek down White River. This is a beautiful trek spent following the river downhill, occasionally meeting a nomadic family grazing their animals and working around the Ger (yurt). Our local guide will often talk to the families and inevitably, the team will find themselves inside a Ger, enjoying the wonderful hospitality of the family. Once at the Park Entrance, it is time to set up tents for one more night, say goodbye to the Bactrian Camels who help transport the gear and meet up with transportation back to Bayan Olgii.

All is well in Mongolia!
